Introducing Bib Voting
Bib Voting is a new, simple, fun, non-verbal activity that helps children share experiences and build confidence in giving feedback. It also supports coaches in adapting sessions to better meet their needs.
Just follow the steps for the age group you’re working with (5–11 or 12–16). We recommend doing it 3–4 times with different questions.
Why is Play Safe important?
Anyone’s love of football can be taken away by negative behaviour and abuse. Safeguarding prevents this from happening. A Play Safe weekend at the start of each season is there to put safeguarding at the forefront of people’s minds. It reminds everyone to watch, listen, talk, act in every football environment.
